Combating Terrorism in Northern Ireland by James Dingley Pdf

This edited book analyses the lessons which can be drawn from Northern Ireland’s experiences of combating terrorism. The essays in this volume unite analysis and practice in exploring both the conflict in Northern Ireland and the internationally applicable counter-terrorism lessons which can be drawn from the response to it. The contributors, all specialists in their fields, make a theoretical analysis of the underlying causes of terrorism, and explore how this interacts with the development of effective operations and policy responses. The book emphasises the socio-economic and socio-cultural dimensions underlying the problem of terrorism, arguing that short-term, violent/military responses can in fact exacerbate the problem. It highlights the complexity of terrorism as a social phenomenon, and outlines the multi-faceted approach needed to combat it.

Policing and Combating Terrorism in Northern Ireland by Neil Southern Pdf

This book explores the challenges of combating terrorism from a policing perspective using the example of the Royal Ulster Constabulary GC (RUC) in Northern Ireland. The RUC was in the frontline of counter-terrorism work for thirty years of conflict during which time it also provided a normal policing service to the public. However, combating a protracted and vicious terrorist campaign exacted a heaving price on the force. Importantly, the book addresses a seriously under-researched theme in terrorism studies, namely, the impact of terrorism on members of the security forces. Accordingly, the book examines how officers have been affected by the conflict as terrorists adopted a strategy which targeted them both on and off duty. This resulted in a high percentage of officers being killed whilst off duty - sometimes in the company of their wives and children. The experience of officers' wives is also documented thus highlighting the familial impact of terrorism. Generally speaking, the victims of terrorist attacks have received scant scholarly attention which has resulted in victims' experiences being little understood. This piece of work casts a specific and unique light on the nature of victimhood as it has been experienced by members of this branch of the security forces in Northern Ireland.

Anti-Terrorism Law and Normalising Northern Ireland by Jessie Blackbourn Pdf

The Northern Ireland peace process has been heralded by those involved as a successful example of transformation from a violent conflict to a peaceful society. This book examines the implementation of the Belfast Agreement in Northern Ireland, and evaluates whether its goal to establish a normal, peaceful society has been fully realised. Using the political and legal status of England, Scotland and Wales as a comparison, Jessie Blackbourn evaluates eight aspects of Northern Ireland which the Agreement aimed to normalise: the contested constitutional status of Northern Ireland, the devolution of power, decommissioning, the removal of emergency laws, demilitarisation, police reform, criminal justice reform, and paramilitary prisoners. The book highlights the historical context which gave rise to the need for a programme of normalisation within the Belfast Agreement with respect to these areas and assesses the extent to which that programme of normalisation has been successfully implemented. By evaluating the implementation of the Belfast Agreement, the book demonstrates the difficulties that transitional or post-conflict states face in attempting to wind back extraordinary counter-terrorism policies after periods of violence have been brought to an end. The book will be of great use to students and researchers concerned with the emergence, evolution and repeal of anti-terrorism laws, and anyone interested in the history of the conflict and peace process in Northern Ireland.

Anti-terrorism Laws by Kulwant Rai Gupta Pdf

Terrorism Now Has Become A World-Wide Phenomenon. During The Last Two Decades The World Has Been Marked By An Increasing Number Of Terrorist Attacks. Terrorism Occurs When A Group, Whether Holding Governmental Office, Or Outside Government, Resolves To Pursue A Set Of Ideological Objectives By Methods Which Not Only Subvert Or Ignore The Requirements Of Domestic And International Law, But Which Rely For Their Success Primarily Upon The Threat Or Use Of Violence. There Are Now Over One Lakh Jehadis All Over The Islamic World, In Afghanistan, Kashmir, Albania, Chechnaya (Russia), Xin-Jiang (China), Central Asia And Elsewhere.The United Nations Has Mandated That All States Must Adopt Necessary Legal Instruments To Prevent Terrorism And Strengthen International Cooperation In Combating Terrorism. Unfortunately The Bill For Converting The Anti-Terrorism Ordinance Of India (Prevention Of Terrorism Ordinance) Into An Act Could Not Be Introduced In The 2001 Winter Session Of The Parliament Due To Resistance Of Some Opposition Parties And Because Of The Need For Unity Of All Political Parties To Meet With The War-Like Situation On The Indo-Pak Horizon.The Book Provides Information About Anti-Terrorism Laws Of Important Countries Like The United States, The United Kingdom, Israel Etc. A Study Of Anti-Terrorism Laws Of These Countries Would Be Of Great Help In Formulating A Similar Law For India And Also In Softening Resistance Of Opposition Parties To Such A Law.It Is Hoped That The Book Would Be Found Useful By The Executives Of The World And Regional Organisations, Non-Government Organisations Concerned With World Peace And Security, Government Executives And Parliamentarians In Different Countries Concerned With Tackling Terrorism, Students Of Political Science And Law And The Common Man Interested In Day-To-Day World Affairs.

Charlie One by Seán Hartnett Pdf

Seán Hartnett grew up in Cork in the 1970s where he observed the worst of the northern Troubles with fascination. Despite his family s strong republican ties and his own attempt to join the IRA, Hartnett shocked family and friends when he changed allegiance and joined the British Armed Forces. In 2001 Hartnett returns to his native Ireland, but this time as a member of the British Army s most secretive covert counter-terrorist unit in Northern Ireland, Joint Communications Unit Northern Ireland aka JCU-NI, the FRU, 14 Intelligence Company, or simply The Det . For the next three years Hartnett is directly involved in some of the highest profile events of that period, from the arrest of John Hannan for the bombing of the BBC in London, to the tragic murder of David Caldwell; the prevention of the murder of Johnny 'Mad Dog' Adair and some of the biggest blunders by British Intelligence in the history of the Troubles, including the true story behind the murders of Corporals Howes and Wood at an IRA funeral in 1988. Charlie One , the call sign for the most wanted targets of British Intelligence operations in NI, documents the journey of an Irish Republican serving in Britain s most secretive counter-terrorism unit. Filled with roller coaster emotions and explosive revelations of British Intelligence covert capabilities and operations, Charlie One provides a truly unique, detailed and unbiased account of the secret war fought on the streets of Northern Ireland.

Eye On L. Richardson ́s Three R ́s by Martin Riggler Pdf

Essay from the year 2010 in the subject Politics - International Politics - Topic: Peace and Conflict Studies, Security, grade: 2,3, University of the Federal Armed Forces München, language: English, abstract: One of the major changes regarding post 9/11 terrorist-studies is rarely taken notice of: The sudden and more urgent than ever before manifested strive to understand terrorism in its roots and methods by both political decision makers and society. Seemingly almost in accordance to the political behavior of the former S-administration, promptly demanded answers for questions of a kind not being posed before by the public, led to quite a variety of outcomes that can be subsumed the same way the socio-critical American journalist Henry Louise Mencken noted as early as 1920: “There is always a well-known solution to every human problem – neat, plausible, and wrong.”. This paper takes a close look at the three R ́s of revenge, renown and reaction that the wellknown political scientist Louise Richardson identified as the immediate motives of terrorists and hence sine qua non for the phenomenon.

Accountability and Review in the Counter-Terrorist State by Blackbourn, Jessie,de Londras, Fiona Pdf

Counter-terrorism is now a permanent and sprawling part of the legislative and operational apparatus of the state, yet little is known about the law and practice of how it is reviewed, how effective the review mechanisms are, what impact they have or how they interact with one another. This book addresses that gap in knowledge by presenting the first comprehensive, critical analysis of counter-terrorism review in the United Kingdom, informed by exclusive interviews with policy makers, politicians, practitioners and civil society.
